Here are the ingredients for making a Modak -
Step 1: Preparing the Filling
After boiling a pan to medium temperature, add the coconut flesh.
Make the Jaggery Powder into the mixture, continuing to make until the jaggery melts and melts properly with the coconut. The mixture should be moist but thick.
For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cardamom powder.
Add the mixture from the heat and let it cool when it has been made and been well mixed.
Step 2: Preparing the Dough
Melt 1 cup of water in a pot until it boils.
Add 1 teaspoon of ghee and a pinch of salt into the boiling water.
Slow the heat and add the rice flour slowly slowly, mixing all the time to prevent lumps.
Adding continuously, the mixture should become a smooth dough. If needed, add a few drops of water to achieve the right consistency.
For 10 to 15 minute, cover the meal with a moist cloth and allow it to rest.
| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1 cup grated fresh coconut |
| 1/2 cup Jaggery Powder, grated |
| 1 cup rice flour |
| 1 cup water |
| 1 tsp ghee |
| A pinch of salt |
| A pinch of cardamom powder (optional) |
Step 3: Shaping the Modaks
Divide the dough into small balls.
Roll each ball into a small shape with a rolling pin or your fingertips.
Put a dollop of the jaggery Powder and coconut filling in the disk.
Carefully fold the edges of the disc around the filling, bringing them together at the top to form a peak. Ensure the edges are sealed properly to prevent the filling from leaking.
Proceed with the remaining dough and filling in the same way.
Step 4: Steaming the Modaks
After shaping, place the Modaks in a steamer that has parchment paper or banana leaves on them.
The modaks should be steamed for 10 to 12 minutes on medium heat to become firm and glossy.
When finished, take them out of the steamer and allow them to cool somewhat.
